Nun of That: 'Yes, it is contrary to Rome's teachings.'

A revealing acknowledgment:

“We are closing schools and churches and they are asking the diocese to spend money on this type of thing?” said Sister Lil Mattingly, a Maryknoll Missioner. “We try very hard to review our own lives and how Jesus is calling us to live, but I'd like to call on Rome to work on that.”
Franciscan Sister Elizabeth Ohmann added, “Are we going contrary to Rome's teachings? I say, 'Yes, it is contrary to Rome's teachings.' But it is not contrary to my own conscience."

So they are no longer in communion with Rome. So they are no longer Catholic. Their apostasy would be sad for Catholics and a neutral affair for most everyone else--but why are they still in Catholic religious orders?
